Yui (Sword Art Online) started off as nothing more than a false AI, but eventually all the events and experiences that she encountered allowed her to evolve her mind into a true AI, granting her a true consciousness, emotions, sentience and understanding that she lacked before.
Initially just a mindless beast meant to simply destroy, Stitch's (Lilo & Stitch) bond with the Pelekai family enabled him to evolve his mind beyond that, developing emotions and understanding he previously lacked.
In addition to causing Devolution in its users, the Devo Chamber (Super Mario Bros. film) can also work in the opposite direction by evolving said users' minds, making them far more intelligent.

While barely being a preadolescent Dr. Noob (Dark Cloud 2) is one of the brightest minds within the Luna Lab research facility, due in part to contact with the Shigura's mystical Luna Stones which increase mental capacity by leaps and bounds.
Through intense mental training and discipline, Frieza (Dragon Ball) was able to evolve his Golden Form even further, allowing him to completely negate the stamina-draining drawbacks to the form.

Alongside his body and vampire powers, Kain's (Legacy of Kain) mind evolved over the centuries, allowing him to not only work out how to operate the time-streaming devices despite not being the Time Guardian, but perceive and make sense of the infinite paths of the timestream and plan accordingly.
Initially a simple Terminator, Carl (Terminator: Dark Fate) spent twenty years associating with humanity, evolving to become self-aware and manifesting the equivalent of a conscience.
Initially a simple AI created by Dr. Eggman, Sage (Sonic Frontiers) rapidly evolved mentally after being inserted into the Ancients' Cyber Space, developing human emotions and sentience.
